PAULA WHITE MINISTRIES - MARCH 8th, 2026

0:00This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human Welcome to Paula today. I am so excited. God's Word is your answer. And I believe that the Lord has positioned you for such a time as this. You're in a divine supernatural miracle working season. And just like Esther, who knows if you've not come to the kingdom for such a time as this. Now when I talk about Esther, I'm talk about God putting you in posture, in position, for his purpose, his intention, his determination, his will. I'm not speaking gender specific only to females. This is a person that knows God has a plan.

1:01And I'm standing in the gap for my family, for my generation, for my nation. God has put you in a place. The question is, can you discern it? Will you be like Esther and say, hey, if I perish, I perish. But if God be for me, who can be against me? Now let's get into the Word. You're not going to miss your moment. So who knows if you've come to the kingdom for such a time as this. You're spirit. Does your spirit ever fill it? Do you ever feel like there's more? There's more. There's just making money. There's more than just working nine to five. There's more than just living a sad aside life. There's more than just doing what they think I should do called successful. There's more. Anybody spirit ever fill it? Come on, you know why? Ecclesiastes 3.11. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has set eternity in the hearts of man. Eternity is in you. It's in the hearts of man yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

2:05You hear me say it often, but your spirit has a memory of your future that sometimes your mind is struggling to comprehend. Because you begin to recognize you are a sent person. Sent people act very different. They talk different. They walk different. Everything is different because you recognize I didn't just show up. I'm not here by coincidence. No such word. But I am sent. Everything is very purposeful. And a sent person recognizes that they are here on an assignment by God with the purpose to fulfill. You all have a purpose to fulfill. And sometimes we see something as this is greater or that's pleasant. But we were reminded through so much of the word of God how the body all fits together jointly. And how every one of us has something very important to do for God. God uses us. And he uses us in our full capacity where that his glory can come through our life and show the evidence of who he is. Think about it, Joseph.

3:06Think about it, Daniel. Think about it, Esther. So on Purim, we remember who is it that will reach for, lay hold of, appear, strike, punish and defeat for the dominion, the reign, the rule. Because you know there are two kingdoms that are clashing and whichever grabs the greater power will be the one that rules and reigns. I believe the kingdom of God is going to rule and reign. I believe the kingdom of God will advance. I believe the kingdom of God will prevail. So as you know, Daniel, Esther, Joseph, as you know, Esther, when you know who you are, then you know and can begin to understand what you're called to do, your why, your purpose, your so-what in life. Because there has been a work that's been fabricated for you. That's why he says that Jesus of Nazareth has anointed you. It means he's furnished you. He furnishes you with everything you absolutely need.

4:08Angela, if you don't have it, you don't need it. Or you're always looking outside yourself, Pastor Todd, if you don't have it, you don't need it. Esther, you've been called for such a time as this. So then you have to say, okay, where are we in the kingdom of God? Make this modern day for us, Pastor Paula, because we have to be able to discern the problems and the moving of the spirit. We really, the more there is a vacuum of leadership, and the more intense things are, the more needed you are. So you're going, man, I can't believe what all's going in the world. You should go, man, look what's going on in the world. Because that means that your solution sent your answer to someone's problem, corporately and individually. And I believe during this time that deep starts calling deep, that the spirit of God is saying, come on, we already know. We've taught this, I saved this, I've said this for the last several years. We are living in days of transition.

5:08We're in transitional times. And just like I said when I was talking about vision, or probably almost any other sermon, I'm going to keep nailing this because you've got to be like the sons of Issaqar to be able to discern the times. I said, I don't know if Jesus is coming back, Jesus doesn't know if he's coming back. I mean, he knows he's coming back, he just doesn't know when he's coming back. Even the sun does not know the hour only the Father knows. I'm ready, I'm hopeful, I'm expectant, I try to put all in my lamp at all times, and be a wise virgin. I try to live for God the best I can, but what I do know is not prophetic. What I do know is just understanding, like a tribe of Issaqar, that we are in days of transition, which means there's constantly one thing ending and another thing beginning, one error ending, another thing beginning, one thing ending, another thing beginning. Transitional times.

6:09David Hool, the futurist, you know, that wrote the book, the shift of ages and times, said that the period, the 20 year period, between 2017 and 2037, would be the most transitional time in any period in history, and that we would be living in a transition of any 50 year period more than any other generation that's ever existed, shifting. Every leader understands something. It's important when we talk about Esther because you've got to know you've been raised up for such a time. Take hold of what is eternity coming to the earth, not chronos, eternity. Such a time is this. So every leader knows that the name to everything going on now is change. Can you move a change? Transitional. So let's see it from a biblical standpoint, Esther. You ready? Say bring it on.

7:09So here we are. When you're in transition, it means you're moving from one place to another, right? The Greek word, as we know, and I go over and over, means metathesis, which is an uprooting of one thing for laying down of another thing. Meta means change. Thesis is a statement that is laid down to be argued about. So metathesis implies in translating or picking up of the thing laid down and setting it in an altogether new context. Let me put it in a word that you would know. You cannot put new wine in old wine skins, because you'll lose both. You'll lose the outpouring of the spirit, but also the structure. So how do we not abandon the foundations of our past, while we build on the present and into the future? Esther. Transition times metathesis is removing those things that can be shaken as a created thing in order for those things which cannot be shaken to remain. So when you're in transitional time, there's a metathesis, it means that everything watched that can be shaken will be shaken.

8:11So that which is not eternal will not remain. How do you know you haven't been raised up for such an eternal as this? Stay with me, because Esther, you can't be shaken. Well, vast I can. I'm going to get to her in a minute. But Esther, come on, this puts a new confidence. I need somebody lift your head and say, I'm starting to track with you, Paula. I'm starting to go there, let everything else be shaken. Let all this, let the economies, let the governments, let this, let the nations. But Esther, eternity cannot be shaken. Where do I carry eternity? I don't carry it in my head. My head, I got to shut this thing down. It'll mess me up, Dr. Paul. I carried it in my spirit. The more I am here, the better we all are. The more you are in here, the better your family is. Don't mess up your moves. You'll make a wrong move like that if you're not in spirit. You'll be with the wrong person that will set you up and destroy your life in one moment.

9:12I'm promising you it happens that fast. You'll make the wrong move out of a money situation. You'll take a job, you'll move to this place because you're here and you're not here. Change everything and the grace of God is the worst cases you'll be delayed. Delayed. That's your worst case. So Esther, eternity, let it all shake. It has to shake. Let it all move. It has to move. Because anything built by the hand of man is not going to be able to stand anyway. Only that that has been done by God so you're going to... Why are these people leaving my life? They have to. You've been trying to hold on to it. You built that. God didn't built it. You brought it together. God didn't bring it together. Stop looking with this here. You ready? Nothing caught God by surprise, Esther.

10:12Just like Queen Esther, God is putting you in position for favor. You have come to the kingdom for such a time as this. Call, writer, go online. As you sow a ministry gift today of $52 or more standing on Esther 5.2. Esther obtained favor in the king's sight and she approached the king and touched the tip of the scepter. We will rush to you a very special silver plated, Esther pendant necklace and 20 inch chain. Complete with a scroll that reads, for such a time as this. And we want to give you an opportunity to sow a $217 Esther offering and agree and faith by standing on Esther 2.17. The king loved Esther. She won grace and favor in his sight. He set the royal crown on her head and made her queen. Call, write, go online or text a give and activate favor for your life today. Thank you so much for being a giver to Paula White ministry.

11:13I believe that you can make a huge difference when you partner with Paula White ministry. You not only help us preach the gospel around the world, literally in a potential 1.9 billion homes, but also all of our humanitarian standing with Israel. The great works that we do here state side and throughout this nation, feeding the hungry, clothing the neck and literally, I mean to the tune of millions and millions of dollars, giving single moms and domestic violence and safe houses and all types of situations. Furniture, think about a child that doesn't have a bed to sleep on and does because of your partnership. Thank you so much for making a difference. If you're not a partner with Paula White ministry, please pray about becoming one. Now, let's get back into the word. You have been positioned for such a time as this. You ready? Nothing called God by surprise, Esther.

12:15So let's keep going with it. What looks like chaos on the surface actually has that pattern that moves towards and intended in. It's chaos. You guys know what you find it in Genesis 1. The Spirit of God moved. God spoke. And what happens? God always starts out of chaos to bring cosmos. Order. So for days of transition, we're leaving one thing. We're coming into new to come into the order of God that he has for that moment, that season, that eternity. Guess what's happening? This. Anybody with me with this? But you're trying to go stable, stable, but my mind likes peace. You don't have peace. It doesn't come from your mind. It comes from your spirit. But I like joy and have joy. But I like to know the future. You know a little bit about it. You know the very end of it. This is called faith. This is called that the just shall live by faith. The just shall live by faith. I thought they lived by comfort. No. I thought they lived by a surety.

13:16No. Hey Elijah. I've got another mission trip for you. Go down to that brook. Okay. The brook dried up. Why thought you sent me there, God? I did. Because I'm going to use something that is a scavenger and the most unlikely source to resource you. Because I need you to know on the mountain top in the valley, Jezebel chasing you in the cave at the brook that I am your source. I am your provider. I am your God. I am your deliverer. So talk to me as you're ready. So what looks like a mess actually always has a message. It's never that set back. It's a set up Micah chapter 7 verse 8. You already know it. Rejoice not against me on my enemy. Don't throw your party yet. You better let him in. No. Watch out. You might have the ring. I'll get there. You might have the goods from the king, but I'm telling you, watch out. Don't throw the party yet. Because my God still has to find a word.

14:17Rejoice not yet on my enemy when I fall. Not if. When. When. When. When I go down. That's all part of the turbulence. That's all part of it. When I go down, I shall arise again. When I sit in darkness. The Lord shall be light unto me. Come on, somebody get a word in their spirit. Because right now it looks dark in your family. Dark in your finances. Dark in the world. Dark in whatever you're walking into. But God says, my light shall shine again. When you fall, come on. You will arise. You'll come into your being is what arise means. So here we go. You come into your being. That's because you know who you are. And this is where you embrace radical disorientation. Chaos. In order to experience a creative transformation. Cosmos. The order in the plan of God. Somebody look at your neighbor saying I'm not being left out. It's my time. Purim. Purim. Purim. I'm going to understand the principles. So what do you do, Esther? You draw near. See the reaction and the natural is what?

15:19Go away. But what do you do? You've got to draw near. You've got to realize there are two kinds of people. And during any kind of shake in the Bible reveals these kinds. We know there's terraces, wheat, right? And only the Lord of the harvest is going to be able to win the winds blow. When the storm comes, there's two types of foundations. A firm one. Come on. There's sand. And there's a rock. There's two kinds of people. Those who draw near. And those who draw back. You'll never know what's in you until you get under the pressure. You'll never know if you're going to draw near. You're going to draw back. You think, man, I'm going to walk through that boat. I make it until it happens to you. And only when that pressure gets on you. Do you know how you're going to respond? Is it going to be like, saw out of compulsion? You'll be reactive? Or like, David, you'll encourage yourself. And you'll fasten hold onto something that's deep within you. That anchors you through every storm.

16:20All the turbulence. All the agitation. Strong. Eternal. Sent. Purpose. Plan. Sovereign. Trust. Hope. Thought. We got this. I don't need a lot of agitist nouns, verbs, but I just named the ones I need. We got this. But don't you know every single day. Ask people close to me. Ask Pastor Todd. Ask John. Every single day I have something happen that's enough to rock my faith. Almost every day. I mean, not just make it a bad day. I mean, rock my faith. God. Hope. Faith. Trust. Believe. Such a time as this. Purpose. Alignment. Sovereign. Never step into a day that God is not already ordained. God ordained it. The devil doesn't get that pleasure of ordaining my days.

17:21God's ordained the Elder. The devil can't, he doesn't have that kind of power over you. He didn't do this? Nope. Or damed by God. If I have a face to face with Satan, bring it on what you're trying to do here, God. What are you doing? You've been called for such a time as this. She drew near and we'll get to it. The Hebrews word means this. There are two kinds of people that God reveals in times of transition. It's actually found in the book of Hebrews. Hebrews is all about when the children of Israel provoked God during the days of perdition because they drew back. They drew back so they provoked God. And they died. That's not a good ending, by the way. Drawing back is not a good ending. You want to draw near. What do I mean? The Hebrews means a bar to cross over. The word Hebrews means transition. Rendered, passed over, come over, overcome, or get to the other side.

18:24So the whole, the very word Hebrews means to cross over to get to the other side. Now there are four basic aspects that carry movement and relationship one to another. To draw near, to get to the other side, to cross over to transition. And mint this when you draw near. It's four basic aspects. Number one, it meant to go beyond or further. Number two, it speaks of movement between two places. It's a metaphor which means to exceed. And then it carried this moral, spiritual meaning to transgress. Hebrews chapter 9, or 10, excuse me, Hebrews chapter 10 verse 19 through 39, defines these two kinds of people. One, those who draw near full of faith and an assurance of faith. And those who draw back into perdition. And they shrink back in their destroyed. Look at somebody, say come on, draw near, draw near, draw near. Now why did they draw back? Anybody want to tell me why they drew back? Fear, that's an absolute reason. But there was something particular that was happening in the book of Hebrews that made them draw back.

19:28Persecution. Fear was a result of it. Persecution. When you start getting under persecution, it's not like being a Christian in the 90s. It's different. You start talking a whole lot about you, Jesus. Take a real stand. It's not quite as popular. In fact, there are people losing their lives all over the world. For standing for Christ. Don't make me really get on this ester. Because persecution, the chaos, they couldn't handle the pressure. Not realizing it was a very pressure that was producing greater faith and perseverance and ultimately the promise of God. Pressures looking for you, not against you. Pressures working for you and not against you. I said something on Sunday, you're bigger than the storm. The Holy Spirit just brought it to me again. You're bigger than the storm. You're bigger than the storm. Come on, Esther. You're shaking because you're like what's going on?

20:29You're bigger than the storm? It's not the day to draw back, but it's the day as ester prophetically demonstrated to draw near. It was a matter of life and death. You ready? So you're ready? I'm looking for my Esther. Now I'm just getting down to everybody who's listening. She's looking to God's looking for that person who's been sent for such a time as this. That's not living their own life, but living for Jesus Christ, going for the Kingdom of God. It's time you draw near. The Spirit of Heyman is a destroying spirit that the only thing it knows is the blood of Jesus that is inside you and the power of God. And you're saying they're trying to compromise with it? I don't know if it's really a baby. I don't know if I should really come to church. What do you know? And she don't know it's okay. Take time and figure it out, but figure it out. Figure it out. Figure it out. Figure it out.

21:30If not, raised up for such a time as this, when you walk an eternity Esther, I promise you you'll strike punish and defeat the enemy. So, Purim is about deliverance. It's about a joyous occasion to remember what God's done. But I also think it's a monumental moment to remind you, to remind me, that there's no such thing as ordinary moments. You're chosen. You're child God. There's no such thing as an ordinary moment. There's no such thing as just an ordinary moment. Every one of you had to be here tonight, to hear this word, to activate you in your purpose.

22:30Maybe it's to bring deliverance to your family, maybe it's to bring deliverance to a nation, maybe it's to bring deliverance to people. But I can tell you one thing, it's not. To sit back cowardly, because human is raging and plotting, making plans to destroy God's people. God has called you for such a time as this. When I talk to you about Esther, I'm talking from a prophetic place of power on the position of Esther, not gender specific, but that God has a posture, a position, a place for you, and just like Esther, and like myself, you are also sent to the kingdom for such a time as this. This is a day of deliverance. And on this day, I want to pray along with my ministry, my staff, and agree with you for your deliverance,

23:30your freedom from the forces of darkness, and also specific declarations of favor over you, just like Esther. Now here's what God is saying in this prophetic season. If you hold your peace, if you do not participate, if you hold back now, if you miss this moment, there will still be enlargement and deliverance for God's people, and His purposes, but God can't use you. He doesn't use spectators. He uses participators. You have to partner with God. Don't miss your moment. Let anything holding you back be broken off you right now in Jesus' name. You are in position, and God is opening doors that no man can shut. For such a time as this, I want you to go forward boldly into your destiny, in the courage, and in the spirit of Esther. So what are you going to do? Honor God, whatever you can do. Please do so.

24:30I want to hold your response in my hands. Physically touch your prayer request, in my hands. I want to intercede for you as I lift it up to God. Get ready as you discover the spirit of Esther for your life. God wants to use you, because you make all the difference. And God is putting you in position. Activate favor for your life right now. Just like Queen Esther, God is putting you in position for favor. You have come to the kingdom. For such a time as this, call writer GoOnLine.

And we want to give you an opportunity to sow a $217 Esther offering,
